Adsorption and biosorption for pollutant removal

This cluster of papers focuses on the adsorption of contaminants in water and wastewater, with a specific emphasis on surface area evaluation, pore size distribution, biochar as a sorbent, removal of heavy metals and dyes, use of nanomaterials, and biosorption techniques. The papers cover various aspects of adsorption kinetics, isotherm models, low-cost adsorbents, and the application of different materials for efficient water treatment.

Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
